  • Formula generation by example
    Patent number: 11989503
    Abstract: A system includes an interface configured to receive a user input string for a data cell and a processor configured to: determine a lexicon from data related to the data cell; determine an efficient formula from the lexicon; and provide the efficient formula to a formula cell. The system further includes a memory coupled to the processor and configured to provide the processor with instructions.
    Type: Grant

  • COPY-PASTE TRIGGERED FORMULA GENERATION
    Publication number: 20220229975
    Abstract: A system includes an interface configured to receive a paste-to data cell. The system includes a processor configured to: determine whether there is an exact match key for a copy-from data set; in response to there not being the exact match key for the copy-from data set, determine whether there is a smart formula for the copy-from data set; and in response to there being the smart formula for the copy-from data set, provide the smart formula for the copy-from data set to a formula cell. The system includes a memory coupled to the processor and configured to provide the processor with instructions.
